[ENet-discuss] 64 Bit project compliation issue

[Alex Milstead]

Hi All,

I'm new to Enet usage. For starters, I'd like to say how impressed I am 
with the minimalist approach to UDP sockets and client/server connection 
issues you've taken. It makes the library very attractive and really 
easy to implement.

Unfortunately, however, I've had some issues.

Basic setup: I have a server program running on Linux 32-bit (compiling 
and lib usage was EASY here), that runs great.
I also have a client program (for some initial testing) on Windows 
64-bit, using Visual Studio 2008 Pro. Oddly enough, following the 
instructions to include ws2_32.lib before compiling, then compiling 
works great. Switching to a DLL build, however, causes issues.

In any case, I tried out the .lib build, enet builds fine and I can 
include it in my project, but I get odd linker errors when I try to 
build/run the program, basically to the effect of "enet.lib(win32.obj)  
: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol", referencing the 
"timeBeginPeriod, timeEndPeriod, etc..." methods that are called inside 
of in enet_initialize, deinitialize, and enet_time_get.

I'm pretty lost as to what to do at this point. I haven't tried it on a 
32-bit windows OS yet, but that's mainly because I don't have one 
readily accessible. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex Milstead
